The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by module-init-tools (argument)
# /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> (07 Mar 2013)
# Masked in favour of sys-apps/kmod. Now is the time to file
# bugs against sys-apps/kmod if you have issues with it you
# didn't with module-init-tools.
# Later removal at 01-01-2014 by request from eudev maintainers
